He Clings to the Patrons Still.

Col. James n. Lipscomb, who now
holds the chief clerkship in the pat,
ent Office at Washington, was recent
ly rendered compliu .tary banquet
at the Riggs House by a number of
distinguished representatives Of the
Patrons of Husbandry. The gentle
men rendering the compliment were
William Saunders, John R. Thomp.
son and John Trimble, representing
the founders of the Order, and the
Hon. Norman J. Colman, United
States commissioner Of agriculture,
master; Major William NJ. King,
secretary, and DR.. H. R. Branham,
representing Potomac Grange No. l,
the first Grange ever organized. An
address of welcome was made by
Mr.. William Saunders, who spoke in
the most pleasant terms of Col. Lip
scomb's removal to Washington. Col.
Lipscomb made very happy re-
sponse to the words of welcome and,
in concluding his remarks, said {:
"The change of residence and busi-
ness will, of course, interrupt the
close and long continued connec
ton have held to the State organi.
zation, and probably end my repre-
sentative status, but cannot and will
not in the slightest degree lessen my
interest in and devotion to the Order.
And here in my new field shall be
ready and anxious to add my most
jealous efforts to yours to in any way
enhance and promote this grand Or
der and its noble work"

Morgan, the head Of the Baltimore

"It might be well tocontradict the
current report that undue advantage
was taken of Mr.. Garrett inthe sale

Ohio Railroad, were first opened with

a sail on the Atlanta to Irvingtou

Messrs. Cowan and King. of the Bal.
timore and Ohio Company.
"As Mr.. Garrett was then just
leaving for Europe, he informed me

Cowan and King to consummate the
sale during his absence. These nego-

HOW PERSIAN WOMEN BATTLE.
The Story Of One Who Had the Luck
to See it All.
st. James Gazette.

The bath takes up q good deal of
the time of all Persian women. Even
the poorest will attend the Hamman
at least once a week. For the lady,
the bath is one of the serious affairs
of life, and takes up daily from TWO
to four hours. It is something more
than our idea of bath. The victim
is scraped and rubbed and parboiled.
The soles of the feet are pumiced un.
til they are soft and tender as those
of little child. The hair is thor.
oughly washed by means Of hot water
and spacious clay, for which Shiraz
is celebrated.
Then the attendants mix in a bra
zen bowl the aromatic henna with
the requisite amount Of lemon juice,
till brown paste of the consistency
of cruel is produced, and several
handfuls OF the repulsive looking
compound are smeared over the la.
dy's head. Then the hair, collected
into a mass, is bound up in cabbage
over the eyebrows. The soles of the
feet, the toes, the palm Of the hands
and the finger tips are also covered
with it. And now the lady has to
sit perfectly still for from one to
three hours, till, like meerschaum
pipe, she colors, and it is exactly the
color obtained of the best specimens
of pipes that is most fashionable
among the Persian ladies. Day after
day the bath is thronged with women,
each sitting perfectly still for the
color to "take." But they have their
reward, for the henna dyes the hair
bsautiful, deep, warm chestnut;
hence gray hair is unknown among
Persian ladies. While the coloring
process has been going on tongues
have been running and good deal
has been exchanged. The female
barber, with a pair of tweezers, has
removed every outlaying hair from
the lady's eyebrows. 1t is the ambi.
ton of every Persian woman that
her eyebrows shall meet, or at least
appear to do so, So attractive are
eyebrows that meet that they are
called the "bridge of love" The
first care, then, of the Persian beauty
is with pencil of antimony to unite
her eyebrows, and then she proceeds
to make them appear of unnatural
thickness; her eyelashes are pen
ciled, too, in manner not unknown
to our own countrywomen. BY this
time the lady will have smoked many
kalians or water pipes, she will have
partaken of tea. and regaled herself
with coffee; iced sherbets, too. will
not have been wanting. Her finger
tips, nails and palms, as we'll as the
soles of her feet and her toes have
attained a bright chestnut hue, which
will last q week The hair is care
fully washed once more. 1t is sell
dom under yard long, often much
more, for the Persian woman never
cuts her hair, except in front, per-
haps, when two heavy forelocks are
left on either side of the face. The
ladies now return home to their noon.
day breakfasts. After breakfast
there is generally siesta, and this
in hot country is almost oecessi-
ty. About 4 o'clock tea and pipes
appear, and then the lady receives
callers or pays visits, or perhaps,
does little shopping, or taxes the
air mounted on her ambling mule or
a donkey of snowy whiteness.

Laws Which Need Modification.
AJberiUe Press aad Banner.

The last term of the Criminal
Court at Abbeville furnishes one
more proof that our laws need modi.=
fcation, or else the salaries of our
judges should come down.
At the term Of the court there were
absolutely no cases, which. we think,
deserved the attention of q judge and
solicitor whose salaries are $500
and $1,000 year. To our mind
nothing could be more absurd than q
$500 Judge, $1,000 solicitor, with
the sheriff, the clerk of the Court, and
twelve respectable gentlemen, repre-
senting every quarter of the county
setting solemn form to try negro
charged with stealing IS cents worth
of chickens-and yet such case
was brought into the court.
Another case wss that of a negro
charged with stealing two pigs, the
value of which was alleged to be s.
each. The negro has lain in Jail for
months. He has been tried twice,
occupying good part of the day
each time, and the jury in each in.
stance failed to agree on verdict.
The negro is still in Jail, and by the
time he will be tried again, and per.
haps then acquitted, he will have
been fed some fourteen months at 80
cents day-board bill alone costing
the innocent tax payers Of Abbeyille
County over 500, besides the time of
the court, the pay of jurors, witnesses
and constables-to say nothing of
the committing trial Justices COSTS,
The recital might be continued to
the end. They are all of minor inn
portance. .
What we mean to say is, that either
the salary of the judge ought to be
reduced to $1,000 year, or else the
dignity and responsibility of the Office
should not be degraded by the trial,
of such cases. If there is trial JUS
tice in Abbeville County who couldn't
try chicken thief, he ought to be.
deprived of his Office.

The invitation was presented to
MIN by Captain Angus P. Brown,
who accompanied it with an earnest
plea to accept this heartfelt expires
sion of Columbia's desire to see his
form and features once more. Mr..
Davis was much affected by this ex-
preston of regard for him and said
that the invitation brought back
memories of the years long past. He
could not accept the invitation, as
his physician forbids his going any,
where. He asked Captain Brown to
present his grateful acknowledge
ments and warmest affection to the
citizens and old soldiers of Colnm

1t was not question OF inclina'
ton. The feeble health of the grand
old man forbade his coming. Co.

ord her feelings in thus inviting the
old chieftain to her borders and she
can but regret that it is thus.

A Government Teller 6 one TO Canada

New YORK, October 27.-The sub.
treasury has now its representative in
Canada in the person of Henry Jack.
son, its paying teller. He has gone
with exactly $4,000 Of Uncle Sans
money, but there is this satisfaction
for the treasury official, that Jack.
son might have taken more. He did
not, however, have access to the
vaults, as the more stringent rules
concerning admission to the vaults
were made under the present assistant
treasurer.
Jackson took the money, as AS
sistant Treasurer Canada said to-day,
on last Saturday, the day of his de.
parture. His cash was carefully ex.
amined on the 18th instant and found
to be correct. On the 18th, when
Jackson was absent through illness,
his accounts were again gone over
and no deficit found. On Monday
morning last the discovery was
made and measures were taken to
intercept him, his default meanwhile
being kept secret.
Mr.. Canda said to-day: II know
no way that bas been devised to pre-.
vent paying tellers in banks or other
institutions from taking part of the
money necessarily committed to
their charge if they are dishonest"
Jackson was appointed in Feb
ruary, 1879, and was recommended
by several of the most influential
men in the city. He was previously
in the National Currency Bank and
other financial institutions Of this
city, occupying smaller salaried po.
sitions. When he was appointed he
was promoted successfully until be
reached position of paying teller at
$4,000 per annum under the present
assistant treasurer.

Treasurer Millhouse, Of several

Bad Behavior in Church.
Ne1r5gry Obse7rer.

Newberry has always had good
record on church behavior; but there
is danger that that record will be
broken. There Was some ugly be-
hayior in one of the churches last
Sunday-morning and night. Some
young men or boys annoyed and dis.
turbed their neighbors very much by
whispering end giggling during the
services. This sort of behavior
must stop. Such conduct cannot be
tolerated. The offending ones should
cease such behavior on their own
account; for nothing so reflects on 8
boys good sense and good breeding
as to see him misbehave in church.
Besides that, they have no right to
disturb others. If they must talk,
let them select some other place than
a church.

Why He Paid Up.
From the Cmhbert, Ga., Liberal.


Several years ago, when James A.
Allison was clerking for Allison &
Atkins, he was sent into the country
to collect sn account, with instruc-
tlons to "board it out, if he could
collect it no other way. He reached
the house q while before dinner, and
was told by the debtor that be could
not possibly pay the bill. Jim told
him what his instructions were and
awaited for dinner. Dinner was an.
nounced and jim partook with the
family. After watching him devour
one meal the debtor decided it would
be cheaper to pay the bill than to
board Jim a week, went to neigh
Dor and borrowed the money, and
settled in full. Jim says his appe-
tite is not as good now as when he
was young clerk.
